Q:
What do the dotted lines mean in the ‘evolutionary tree’?
Quotable
quote:
‘If a person doesn’t think there
is a God to be accountable to, then—then what’s the
point of trying to modify your behaviour to keep it within
acceptable ranges? That’s how I thought anyway. I
always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we
all just came from the slime. When we, when we died, you
know, that was it, there is nothing …’
– Jeffrey Dahmer, in an interview with
Stone Phillips, Dateline NBC, 29 November 1994. |
A: Here’s
a practical example. When evolutionists draw man’s family tree,
they start with some ancestor that’s supposedly common to both apes
and man. They then draw lines from this common ancestor branching out
to various creatures that evolved at different times. At the end
of one of the branches, they show human beings.
One ends up with a picture that looks like the trunk of a tree with
all sorts of branches leading in different directions.
Evolutionary books are full of such evolutionary trees that
look so convincing for evolution.
There are many such evolutionary trees from various sources over the years
which have been copied for AiG’s files. In every instance so far, all the branches are joined to the main stem
by dotted lines. What does this mean? It means this is how
this creature was supposed to have evolved—but they don’t
have any transitional or ‘in-between’ forms to prove
it! The dotted lines mean they simply don’t have the evidence!
What one sees instead is that scientists find distinct kinds
of animals, just as we’d expect from Genesis!
